Bunning threatens to sue NRSC
Former Major League Baseball pitcher Jim Bunning is starting to cause problems for the Republican Party. Recently, he said that Justice Ginsburg is probably going to die within the next year. Even though the cancer that she faces is very critical and life-threatening, his comments were insensitive considering she has come back to the bench. Now, Bunning is threatening to sue his Republican colleagues if they do not support him in the 2010 election. Republicans have been effective at generating disapproval of Democrats control of Congress so far, but with outbursts like these, it will not be long before their communication strategies will be needed for damage control rather than offensive attack.

I wouldn't worry about communication issues just yet. It is important to remember that Bunning is a single person in an entire political party.
No one rose to defend the remarks he made regarding Justice Ginsberg.
There are morons like him in both parties. Consider Roland Burris.
Since all the moderate Republicans lost in November, the Republican delegation was left with a less diverse array of views.
This has allowed the Republicans, as a party, to display a great amount of discipline and unity as we saw with their organized opposition to the stimulus bill.
